STRAWBERRY POT PLANTED UP

This was planted up today with 12 violas. It was quite awkward to do as the dry soil kept falling through the holes. Might need more plants, I'll see how it looks in a couple of weeks

Thanks everyone for your comments. I squeezed two plants into each 'pocket' and put all the remaining ones in the top. I think it looks a little sparse but the violas were in those polystyrene plug things and seemed squashed in, so I'm hoping they will spread a little. If not, I'll have to put something else in with them.
Sue, it's quite a narrow pot and would probs look OK on a doorstep.
